Red Kite at Fermyn Woods



Was this after the mouse? It was circling over the play area and car park, quite oblivious of the crowds of people there that day.

One tricky thing photographing birds in flight is getting anything other than a silhouette. For one thing, the camera tries to average out the exposure, and the sky is very bright, plus the bird is often between you and the sun. But on this occasion, the sun shining through the feathers actually makes the shot for me.
